Answer:
acceleration 8 km/h/s south
Explanation:
First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.
Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:
distance: 40 km
speed: 40 km/h
Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.
Then, the following option:
velocity: 5 km/h north
is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.
So, the correct choice is
acceleration 8 km/h/s south
In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as
where
v = 40 km/h is the final velocity
u = 0 is the initial velocity
t = 5 s is the time
Substituting,
And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
Maybe the picture helps. The blue block represents the cart with a mass of 3 kg. The person(black block) is pulling the cart to the right with a force F so that the acceleration a is 2 m/s². According to Newton's 2nd law: F = m*a.
